Chapter 122: Jabal's'Blackmail Letter'


   December 24, 1992.
  Although it is Christmas the next day, but on the side of Lao Mei, the weight of Christmas is similar to that of the domestic Spring Festival, so it has not yet reached the 25th.
However, for Li Shengli, Christmas is still relatively unfamiliar. After all, domestic festivals are not popular in the 1990s. Although the Hornets’ teammates, especially Curry and his two sons, strongly invited him to go to the house for the festival, But he did not agree, on the one hand he would feel embarrassed, on the other hand he would not bother others.
   But... Li Shengli in a foreign country still has some people thinking about it.
  ……
   City of Greenville.
   "Hey, man, what are you doing?" Thompson asked, looking at Jabal, who was buried in the letter and puzzled.
   Tomorrow is Christmas. Their elder brothers are going back to their hometown and their families for the holidays. Although Li Shengli was also invited, they were obviously rejected by Li Shengli, but Jabal prepared a Christmas gift for him, plus a letter.
"Go away, I'm writing a postcard to Li, can't you see it?" Said it was a letter, but it was actually a simple postcard, and Jabal did not return his head. The handwriting of the ghost symbol is incomparable to his elegant style on the court.
   "Shit, are you sure this is a postcard, not a blackmail letter?" Thompson scratched his head while looking at the handwriting of the ghost symbol.
   "Get out, have you seen such a touching letter of extortion?"
"I think I'll see it soon!" Thompson picked up half of the postcards written by Jabal afterwards, almost crying because he was "moved". Although the handwriting was flying into the sky, he read the most important place. Understand.
   160,000 USD Lamborghini LM002?
  Is this absolutely crazy?
   Want to know that when Jabbar played NCAA in Li Shengli, that is, at the beginning of the year, he bet Thompson and lost a LM002. Later he bought another one, and now he wants to give one as a Christmas gift?
   Looking at Santa Jabal, who was so amazing and at the holiday season, Thompson felt that he should indeed prepare a gift for Li Shengli, so... He gave a lame driver, Ma Qiangdong.
Driving LM002, Ma Qiangdong departed to Charlotte City on the afternoon of the 24th, until it was dark and met Li Shengli. Although in the United States, there is no big problem with a driver’s license, but who will be bored in the big year? Night's out to check for unlicensed driving?
  ……
  So, on Christmas Eve on the 24th.
Li Shengli and Ma Qiangdong had joined together, both young and old, and he was still surprised at the gifts of Jabal and Thompson. The postcards of ghost paintings could not be understood, but the LM002 as a gift was real, with a price of $160,000. It was so expensive that he never thought he would receive... such a car?
  Without relatives and no reason, the elder brother took care of himself so much, Li Shengli said that he was not grateful that it was really false.
Although at first I always felt that Thompson and Jabal had no intentions of him, but after a long time, this feeling of being a teacher and a friend, especially when he was alone in a foreign country, seemed to be full. Precious, and for what the older brothers expect from him in the NBA championship, he feels that it is very necessary to work hard to wear the ring of the overall championship...
  In addition to the Christmas gifts of the two brothers, Ma Qiangdong also brought festive condolences and cooked a pot of dumplings.
In normal times, Ma Qiangdong had to let Li Shengli call his elder brother instead of his uncle in order not to show old age, but looking at the boiled dumplings, Ma Qiangdong fell into contemplation... Justify it.
  No matter how big or small it is, it is better not to call it in front of dumplings...brother!
  ……
  The city of Charlotte on Christmas Eve became a city that never sleeps.
  Li Shengli's house seems to be deserted a lot, playing today's NBA Christmas War. It's just that the teams that can participate in the Christmas War are heavyweight teams in the East and West. The Charlotte Hornets can't even reach the threshold, so...After playing a home game on the 23rd, the next game is on the 28th, with a gap in the middle. A few days is the holiday of the Hornets players.
   Speaking of it... Watching the Spring Festival Gala in the Chinese New Year, watching the Christmas War of the NBA in the United States during Christmas.
This history can be traced back to the 1940s. After years of habit cultivation, although it is not as scary as the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala, the attention of the Christmas War in the United States is still very high, and this Christmas War is the most interesting thing... …The Chicago Bulls game against the New York Knicks. Lee Shengli eats dumplings and dipped in vinegar. After watching the whole process, he sighed the strength of the two teams.
   The first half of the game is the rhythm of the Knicks.
Unlike the "dirty" defense of the Detroit Pistons, the Knicks' hard-line defense has always been relying on physical confrontation and competition for position. The starting five tigers have turned the rounds and assisted the defense to the extreme. The Knicks are the star. Gorilla Patrick Ewing and Anthony Mason Jr., the brothers almost blew the Bulls inside and monopolized the rebound.
   Throughout the first half, the Knicks got a 10-point lead because the Knicks' defensive defense and the pace of the game were slow. The two sides scored 39:49.
  However, in the second half...
23 is a magical number. Michael Jordan withstands the opponent's pinch and leads the Bulls to play a Jedi counterattack. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com did the most offensive and defensive, making the Knicks only get a pitiful 28 points in the second half. The score of 89:77 put an end to the Christmas War.
  Although the Knicks’ 54 rebounds overwhelmed the Bulls’ 35, they also placed more restrictions on Michael Jordan.
But... still can't stand Jordan's bravery, 15 of 34 shots, 12 of 16 free throws, scored 42 points + 8 rebounds + 5 assists + 3 breaks, and through the TV, Li Shengli can feel Ewing's despair!
   blew the Bulls' inside line, crushed the Bulls' rebounds, and the Knicks' defense also took care of Jordan. Just by Jordan's free throws, it can be seen that he ate 8 Knicks fouls.
   What can I lose?
  Li Shengli looked dumbfounded. You know, Ewing is definitely the top center in the NBA, but even so, the Knicks where he is still trampled to death by the Bulls.
   Assuming transposition, Li Shengli feels that...if he is on the Knicks side, the result will not change. Because Ewing really exploded the Bulls' inside line, and replaced him, the best result is like this. But this... it seems that fart is useless, the Bulls still slaughtered the Knicks.
   Said the good center years, the inside is king?
   But why is there such a big brother, riding on the head of a big ticket center?
   shook his head. Li Shengli didn't think about it. It wasn't his style that he did not fight first, and he had set his sights on the home game on the 28th.
   Detroit Pistons!
   Thinking of abolishing Jill's axe-worshiping Lanbil? !
   This is destined to be a battle of revenge, and Li Shengli is always ready to... Harvest the only remaining egg of Lambir.
